In my never ending quest for a good burger, my colleagues and I ventured to the cool end of Bermondsey Street for a 'working' lunch. We had a reservation at the warehouse bar Tanner & Co and with rumbling tummies settled into our booth for some much needed meat.
Tanner & Co is a large, open plan, quirky restaurant a short walk from London Bridge and is decked out to look like an old school gym. There are climbing ropes, ladders and even pommel horse's; to take you back to a time we all dreaded. My PE days often involved running around a freezing hall with in a vest and a pair of knickers with some horrible teacher shouting at you to do a rolly pollie; not something that would be allowed today. But this gym hall was much more fun and inviting, plus it is full of city workers sipping on their Thursday afternoon pints.
All of us settled on trying the famous burger and waited hungrily for them to be cooked and delivered. They arrived on a wooden tray with a side garnish of pickle, onion and lettuce. The meat patty was pretty thick and meaty, which is always a good sign. My one negative point was that the only option for cooking the meat was medium or well done and being a girl of the rare variety I did find the meat a little dry.
Having said that the burger was pretty tasty and the brioshe bun was deliciously soft and fluffy. The stand out cherry on the top were the incredible chips, served in a retro metal mug the chips were crunchy on the outside with fluffy potato clouds on the inside!
All in all worth a visit but doesn't beat my Shake Shack love affair! The hunt continues!
Stay beautiful
